there is normally a daily review on tv (SBS) try to watch it if im home.
are the new rules in this yr ,max capacity 450

[xtremeslide]

Yes i'm here following the race also,

like the past year,the other and the other and the other,etc...

Maybe the organization should change the name for "Atacama race 2010"



It's like if in Bulgarie they do a race called "Mojave 10" or "Death valley 10"

it make no sense,IMO

Taken from the Dakar site

Further to the numerous discussions that have taken place with the different actors of the motorcycles’ competition (amateurs competitors, professional competitors, preparators, manufacturers and International Motorcycle Federation) and facing the real interest shown by all the interlocutors, the goal of a maximum cubic capacity of 450 cc is maintained.

Nevertheless, so that the competitors can have more time, a new schedule has been set up.

For the Dakar 2010, the ASO Elite pilots must ride with a restrictor reducing the power of their bike, if its cubic capacity is over 450 cc. Or they may use a bike of a cubic capacity under or equal to 450 cc.
The other pilots are free to choose their bike with no restriction.

For the Dakar 2011, the ASO Elite pilots must imperatively ride a bike of a cubic capacity under or equal to 450 cc.
The other pilots must ride a bike of a cubic capacity under or equal to 450 cc, or a restrictor, if the cubic capacity is over 450 cc.

At last, for the Dakar 2012, all the pilots will ride 450 cc’s.

The restrictor is currently being developed and it will be delivered to the Elite pilots from mid July. This restrictor has been designed in order to have a similar weight / power ratio between the different cubic capacities.

The list of ASO Elite pilots who have to compete on 450 cc or more than 450 cc with a restrictor :

Marc Coma receives a 6 hour penalty after doing an illegal wheel change on SS7, reports marca.com. Coma denies. "This tire has not run 200km" says Marc Ducrocq, dakar bikes race director. Coma: "they're comparing two different tires and two different riding styles. This is unjust."

KTM guys always seem to be dicks.

[sabreguy]

From a post on ADVrider:

The Spaniard Marc Coma (KTM), 2nd in the rankings, was penalized on Saturday, six hours by race management for changing the wheel during the 7th stage an illegal move under the rules in force in rally-raid said the race director.

"Between the decision he made on the route behind a house, and the images we have through google that show exactly where it stopped and the time it stopped, more images HD tire this morning ... these images are clear, the tire did not roll 200 km, "said Marc Ducrocq, director of motorcycle racing.

Then a post from race-dezert.com

So it looks like on the portion of yesterdays stage in the neutral zone, he went behind a house and changed wheels. That means he got outside help not help from another racer. I guess not everyone can use Robby Rules and get away with it ja ja ja.

[sabreguy]

Stage 8 has started and Marc Coma (bikes) and Robby Gordon (cars) are on the same mission ........to win every stage possible from here on out!!

[sabreguy]

Coma was close coming in second at just 42 seconds back.
Robby not so good with a tenth place 36minutes back.

Stage 9

354 km, but with a timed section of only 170, are on the menu for the 9th stage. Indeed, alerted by the presence over the last few days of significant amounts of fog during the morning at Copiapo, the organisers have announced that they will be postponing the start times for the 9th special stage (11.00, instead of 7.15) and will shorten the route in order to avoid stragglers arriving too late at the bivouac in La Serena. However, this is nothing for the competitors to rejoice about, because as a result the 9th special will be a 100% sandy route, since it will wind its way through the ranges of dunes above Copiapo. Another original aspect of this 9th special stage, the last to be contested in the Atacama Desert, is a side-by-side start for the bikers, in groups of 20…

[tacogrande]

They just pushed out the second group, crazy start for sure
First group is to KM 30. Coma, Ullevalseter, Svitko, Przygonski, Duclos, Rodrigues, Despres, Fretigne. No sign of lopez yet, tracking may be broken.
